July 5-11
Today’s Global Crisis and the Urgent Need
for Social, Ecological, and Spiritual Renewal
Choose one of the following courses that will address the social challenges of today. Complementary artistic activity and evening panel discussions coordinate with each course.
Each course meets separately for two sessions each day to address global challenges from its unique perspective. In the third session participants from the courses come together to work artistically and collaboratively in the prototyping and creation of much-needed, new social forms.
Evening programs during this first week are in the format of a community colloquium that integrates artistic presentations, talks by guest speakers, and two panel discussions. Those participating in the course concentration will present the explorations and findings that arise from their collaborative efforts.
Courses are open to all, with a special invitation to the young and to anyone with an interest in starting, continuing, or connecting with socially progressive initiatives. This course block is co-sponsored by the Rudolf Steiner Institute and Think OutWord, a peer-led training in Social Threefolding. The courses are accompanied by group artistic activities.
